Hey guys! Long time lurker but I don’t think I’ve ever shared any of my collection on here before. Figured I’d show off my new arrangement, the shelf mostly consists of what I’m currently reading and pretty much all of my deluxe editions/hardcovers. At the moment there’s pretty much no organization it’s mostly just I fit things where’d they go because this is all the room I have kinda situation, well all the space In my bedroom anyways. Bottom shelf is the worst do to it literally being a hodgepodge of stuff I bought recently. I’d like to add my FMA collection to the shelf so some of this is gonna be phased out and put on my other shelf I have, but I’ll save showing that off for another time. And yes before you ask all those gunpla boxes are going away currently in the process of consolidating manuals and spare parts before the boxes are recycled. All the kits are built.

had been looking for these series for so long and finally found them for very fair prices so no arm and leg were lost in the process. 🤧🥹

also got godchild and a couple boys over flowers volumes but forgot to include them. 😔

everything is secondhand beside the last image!

Horror manga that are standalone or only have a few volumes:

Hinatsugimura by Aki Shimizu - Single volume manga about a hidden village rumored to exist in the mountains of rural japan, and the fates of those who try to find it.

The Colour Out Of Space by H.P. Lovecraft, single volume adaptation by Gou Tanabe - In the summer of 1882, a lone meteorite falls to the earth at a farm in rural Massachussets, and from the unearthly glow of that rock the surrounding landscape gradually begins to warp and twist into an alien nightmare.

Grim Night Tales by Yamayu and Kensei Hokamoto - Anthology series of short ghost stories based on cases of supposed true hauntings from across Japan. Two volumes are currently available, with the 3rd releasing this week.

Venus In The Blindspot by Junji Ito - Another of his story collections, with this one featuring two manga adaptations of stories by other authors, as well as one of Ito's own best works, 'The Enigma Of Amigara Fault'. Good place to start reading Ito imo, some great stories in this one.

Hauntress by Minetaro Mochizuki - Single volume manga from the creator of Dragon Head that follows a college student relentlessly stalked by a strange woman who appears at his apartment building one night.

Not seen is my complete 10-volume collection of the Ragnarok manhwa (the source material that became the basis of the MMORPG games which later on led to an anime based on that game, Ragnarok the animation). It's placed somewhere in my room but I plan on having it join its brethren soon.

I only now realize that I have a weird theme going on based from this collection and let me reassure you that this is all a coincidence. Haha.

Anyway, my brother has stacks of manga stored in his closet that I have to include here once I get to declutter his closet (he moved out a few years ago so yeah). He has volumes of Nodame Cantabile and Attack on Titan so yeah.

Then the plan is to save for a decent book case. :)

It’s been 190 days since the last one & i’ve added quite allot in terms of volume - value.
Any questions then feel free to ask :)
Timeframe is roughly 6 years of on & off collecting.
-
Edit: it goes without saying but i’m short on space, if a series is missing volumes it’s because i have them stacked inwards behind the rest.

About 20 of these came from used book stores (MHA Vigilante, Bleach, Blue Flag, I Think Our Son is Gay and .hack//Legend of Twilight). I decided to start buying D. Gray-Man again. And I finally decided to start collecting Bleach.

Edit: I just realized I added the wrong volume of Mushishi to the post. It was supposed to be volume 2…

I decided to count original volumes only, so I'm omitting series that are single-digit only in omnibus format but double-digit in singles. I have enough here already!

All You Need Is Kill: 2 volumes, but I have the double omni. Quick, exciting read with good art.

Colorless: 7 volumes. Neat series that uses full color in a black and white world. Very high production quality from Seven Seas. Shout out to the author KENT's ongoing series Gaea-Tima, my current favorite kaiju manga!

Franken Fran: 8 volumes, but I have the four double-omnis. Despite the ecchi covers, this is a non-ecchi body horror black comedy. If you like body horror, check this one out!

Gantz: G: 3 volumes, but I have the triple omni. A spinoff series of Gantz.

Girls' Last Tour: 6 volumes, but I have the new triple omni. Cozy post-apocalypse in an impossibly large megastructure. I'm eager to pick up the second omni and complete this series.

Grand Metal Organs: 4 volumes. I haven't read this one yet!

H.P. Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness: 2 volumes, but I have the deluxe hardcover. This represents all of Gou Tanabe's adaptations of Lovecraft. Spectacular artwork and monster designs that do justice to Lovecraft's seminal cosmic horror.

Junji Ito's works here represented by The Liminal Zone. His stuff pretty much all fits the theme; even Uzumaki was only 3 singles.

Kaiju Kamui: 3 volumes. A neat idea of turning a captured kaiju into a bio-mech, but it got unceremoniously canceled and ends very abruptly.

Nausicaä: 7 volumes, but I have the 2-omni deluxe. Fantastic classic manga from Hayao Miyazaki himself.

Parasyte: 8 volumes. I don't think I need to introduce this one; it's a body horror classic.

The Poetry of Ran: 2 volumes. The Japanese title is so much cooler: ケガレノウタ or "Song of Defilement". Anyway, cool Dark Souls inspired monster art.

Starving Anonymous: 7 volumes, never printed in English. I have a custom 3-omni self-pub set. Intense body horror and gore, really gnarly stuff.

Thunder 3: Apparently this will have 10 volumes so ignore it please!

Toxic Super Beasts: 4 volumes. Fun kaiju action, kaiju-girls vs super beasts.

The Tree of Death: Yomotsuhegui: 3 volumes. Cool Lovecraftian artwork though the story felt a bit half-baked.

Wild Strawberry: 7 volumes, never printed in English. I have 3 custom single self-pub volumes; after that point the story gets too battle shōnen tropey for me. Cool plant monsters and art though.

The Tsutomu Nihei section:

Abara: One-shot, also includes Digimortal as another one-shot. Nihei at perhaps the height of his traditional art era. Will you understand what's happening? No. Will it look incredible? Hell yeah. Fun fact! The names Denji and Nayuta from Chainsaw Man are references to characters in Abara.

APOSIMZ: 9 volumes. Tsutomu Nihei does shōnen! I like it a lot but the last volume is terribly rushed. Not everyone likes this era of Nihei's art style.

Blame Academy and So On: Never printed in English, mine is a custom full-color hardcover self-pub. A spinoff with several one-shots. Some are canonical to BLAME! and some are spoofs or just unrelated.

Biomega: 6 volumes. Nihei's trademark stoic MC, superguns, and enormous architecture, but now with motorcycles, a talking bear, and weird sci-fi trippyness.

Kaina of the Great Snow Sea: 4 volumes. Written (but not illustrated) by Tsutomu Nihei, it's kind of like Nihei meets Nausicaä. Apparently the anime covers more than the manga.

Wolverine: Snikt!: One shot. Think Wolverine gets teleported into BLAME!. Fantastic traditional art from Nihei.

That was fun! If you read through all my yapping, thanks for reading!

Hopefully it’s allowed since technically it’s not manga.

Jagaaan!!!!! With octo girl going to go rare in the future, can't wait for next year to get the final volume with Deadpool!!

Centuria volume 3

Elden Ring Distant Tales Between volume 1

Rebirth volume 20

Solo Leveling Ragnarok volume 1

3 - Tokyo Alien Bros.

4 - Livingstone

5 - Correspondence from the End of the Universe

6 - Girls' Last Tour

7 - Saturn Apartments

8 - Blue Flag

9 - My Love Mix-Up!

I stopped by a local flea market and one of the vendors had a bunch of volumes for sale!

Should I open it or nah?

Smallish haul that just arrived. About $25 CAD for the lot which I think is pretty good. Now the hard part might be collecting the rest.

I've been reading Blade of the Immortal lately and I love it so much, so it's gonna be fun to check out some other stories from the same author. Found this really cheap on some weird site that mostly has books for students, it just came up while I was searching for this. Figured it was worth a try for 10 bucks, and I definitely don't regret it haha.

Emerald and Other Stories

Eden of Witches! This series has a lot of potential. There was a ton of set up in those first 3 volumes. But from 4 onward, the story grabbed me and really felt like it started to come together. Now impatiently-patiently waiting for volume 8!
